Summary of donor, donation and naming request:We are requesting approval for the naming of Money & Raymond M.C. Lee Square inrecognition of a $5,250,000 leadership donation to the start an evolution campaign fromUBC alumnus, Mr. Raymond Lee, and his wife, Mrs. Money Lee.
$5 million of this undesignated gift will be used to support the construction of the AlumniCentre and $250,000 will be allocated to enhance the square. Given the honorary namingof the Alumni Centre having been dedicated to Robert H. Lee and the absence of arecognition opportunity at the $5 million level within the centre, we have identified thesquare as a suitable opportunity to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Lees generosity.
